Nope, it *allows* but does not *require*.  Feel free to continue adding 
dependencies in debian/control as usual.  Just allow me to move them to 
debian/rules later on.

I was around when yadayada was still around, but never succeeded 
understanding that beast.  If I recall correctly, it was impossible to 
do an NMU of a yadayada-based package by changing debian/control, as 
yadayada would regenerate that file.  This is not the case here.

But please do educate me: what is flawed in my approach?

I did not expect anyone to do anything they don't like.  But I certainly 
do not want to alienate myself completely either :-)

Which part do you consider "black magic"?  Every change I did or only 
this move of dependencies?  Did you see my later commit making use of 
that change?

Ah, I didn't think of that possibility.  I thought that a commit list 
was for *all* commits and enyone wanting to use if for review would 
simply skip irrelevant ones (as that is somewhat subjective).

Which kinds of changes is it generally preferred that I not annoy the 
team with noise about?

And how do I most conveniently switch on and off that hook?  I know that 
I can log into the server and change the execute bit of the hook itself 
but that also affects others potentially commiting at that time.
